**********************

There are three parts to TheTRULY TEACH ME TAROT COURSE. You will find Detailed Listing of The Content in each Part by clicking on the Links Below.

Part One introduces the student to the essential building blocks of Tarot, the Four Suits of The Minor Arcana, and the Elements that govern them. The History of Tarot, and its Tools of Trade are covered in-depth, along with the various disciplines required for interpretation. Detailed and extensive descriptions are provided for The Suits of Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles; the 40 Cards of The Minor Arcana that play such an integral part in all Tarot Readings. Become familiar with their particular story-lines as the drama unfolds from Card Ace to Ten in each Suit. Get to grips with The Elements that govern each Suit; Fire, Water, Air, and Earth, as they exert both positive and negative influences on the personalities involved.

In Part Two, The Four Royal Families of the Court Cards are closely studied along with their corresponding Astrological Signs. Meet the Stars of Tarot; The Pages, Knights, Queens and Kings of each Suit and begin to dissect their various personalities. Learn how to build profiles based on their archetypal characteristics and traits. Discover how they are controlled by their governing Element, and how their personalities can be adversely affected when in Reverse. Strengthen your understanding of The Court Families by linking the individual personalities to their relevant Sun Sign in Astrology.

Part Three concentrates on the powerful 22 Cards of The Major Arcana, explores their connection to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, and takes an analytical look at the nature of Archetypes and Symbols. Join the idealistic and optimistic Fool as he sets out on the incredible journey of life in Card Zero. Travel with him through the hard lessons and karmic situations he must face on the path to self-realisation and personal fulfilment. Celebrate his achievement as he successfully completes his mission, in The World, Card 22. Learn about the deeply mystical Kabbalah and spiritual construction of The Tree of Life. Study its Ten Sephirot, and Twenty-Two Pathways, to discover how significantly they mirror The Journey of The Fool in Tarot. Observe how Archetypes and Archetypal Situations play an intrinsic role in achieving accurate interpretations.

Truly Teach Me Tarot is a Self-Study Course and does not automatically come with Certification.

**********************

Homework and Assignments provided are purely optional but are of benefit to the individual student who wishes to chart their progress or assimilation of knowledge. Please do not forward them on to me for marking. I only do this when teaching on a personal basis.

Truly Teach Me Tarot is my course, fully written and typed by me after years of studying and reading The Tarot. Wherever I have used material other than my own I have acknowledged this. For example I have included some non-essential additional information on Numerology purely from an ‘interest’ aspect. It does not have to be learned in order to read the cards. The numerology information I have supplied myself in the course is plenty and suffice. The rest is just for fun!

I also do not claim to be an expert at any particular discipline. I am certainly not an Astrologist, Numerologist or an expert on The Kabbalah. I am sure many will point out the mistakes I have made. You will not be expected to be an expert either, that is unless you desire to study further in these areas. Believe me, you will have enough to study in The Tarot without running down several other pathways at the same time.

The first four or five Lessons will carry the greatest bulk of all the essential information and theory behind The Tarot. Small amounts will follow in subsequent lessons. After that you can progress with greater ease. However, I will reiterate and go over certain areas on an ongoing basis. These are areas that I feel are important to remember or areas students typically have difficulty with. Along with the card meanings, each remaining lesson will cover different topics and considerations that affect the Tarot. In Part II and Part III there will be more theory involved and you will be introduced to other ways of looking at the Tarot but you will find it much easier to abosorb after completing Part I.

For those of you who feel that they will be unable to understand and assimilate all the initial material I can assure you that you will get the chance to revisit it in each lesson. It is not information that we leave behind in Lesson One. On the contrary, as we visit each lesson you will get the opportunity to apply this information to every card you meet and every reading you attempt. Within no time at all it will become automatic. So there you have it.

Like Tarot but not interested in studying a Full Course?

Truly Teach Me Tarot can be also be used as a guide or reference source for information on individual Tarot Cards if one does not wish to take The Full Course. – There is a Section just for Cards. Choose from either –

Truly Teach Me Tarot

*Self-Study Holistic Tarot Reading Course*

A Tome of Tarot

My Holistic Tarot Reading Course, Truly Teach Me Tarot, is a Work in Progress and will be developed, expanded and completed over the coming months and years. It has already grown to over 350 pages since its launch in 2012.

I hope you stick around to be a part of its evolution.

How it all Came About

Truly Teach Me Tarot began its on-line presence in July 2012. Thanks to the wonderful facilities provided by WordPress.com I was able to begin the process of building my own Blog/Website.The Truly Teach Me Tarot Course has been in existence, in one form or another, since 2006. It has been successfully taught by me on many occasions, both on a group and class basis. Several Past Students are now ProfessionalTarot Readers.

However, the more I worked with the course and my students, it became obvious how difficult it was to properly teach Tarot in an often tight schedule of mere days or weeks. How much can you truly impart about Tarot to the Serious Student in such a short space of time? Lessons were often in the evening, two, maximum three hours, and information overload was common. Lessons began to run over because students wanted to know more and more. They also wanted to discuss the evening’s work. Then there were the Group Reading Nights when no one wanted to go home because of the fun we were having interpreting and theorising spreads and layouts.

Anyone who really wants to learn Tarot must enter upon an Apprenticeship. They must be prepared to take their time and let their knowledge slowly grow so that it stays with them and also becomes part of them. How could I teach Tarot properly with such time constraints? How could I set a fee for such ongoing in-depth tuition? Who would have the time to attend so many classes?

There had to be another way of imparting all my accumulated knowledge. At first I thought of writing a book but then I thought of all the tarot books already in circulation. I also knew it would be hit or miss with regards to publishing it. I could always self-publish but ruled that out too, there were rules and regulations, structures that had to be followed. I didn’t want such tight control. I knew I wrote best in freestyle so I needed a platform that would permit me full control over what I wanted to do.

And so I came upon WordPress and at first thought that all I could do was Blog, but the more I investigated the more excited I became. Here I could do something, here I could write the way I wanted to. Truly Teach Me Tarot had come to town and found the perfect place to put down its roots.

Truly Teach Me Tarot was set to have a total overhaul, reconstruction and massive renovation. It was ready to extend and expand.

Since 2012 I have been re-working every single aspect of the course to make it suitable for Self-Study. I have rewritten vast amounts of material so as to remove the need for verbal instruction in class. However, I had a choice. Did I spend a couple of years doing all this work behind the scenes, and then officially launch it on-line, or did I let it go live from day one, where anyone, and mean anyone could drop by to see what I was writing, had written, and what still needed to be proof-read. It would be like having a massive audience watch me build a house right out of the dust. I decided to let it go live right away.

At first, as I uploaded my original course notes to begin re-working, I believed that no one even knew I was there. I felt quite okay about leaving paragraphs half written or images scattered here and there because I was only starting off and certainly would not be attracting any attention. Because this is a Blog/website, I did some posting just in case anyone did pop by. I wanted site visitors to know what I was working on and to apologise for any mess they happened upon. I explained what I was trying to do and gave them permission to view anything they wanted, so long as they understood it was a still a Major Work in progress. A progress that could not be rushed. In my posts I shared my plans for what I want Truly Teach Me Tarot and The Site to eventually be. My plans have changed many times since then and will continue to do so.

I never bothered to look at my Stats at that early stage, why would I? I also was working, and when not in work was writing for hours each day. I hadn’t time to keep checking my Stats. I remember the day I did, and nearly died of shock when I saw that people had been visiting my site. I couldn’t believe it. I felt both excited and scared all at the same time. I wanted to get in touch with them all individually and apologise for the site not being finished. I actually couldn’t believe that people from all over the world were reading my work.

From then on I became a Stats Junkie, but thankfully have disciplined myself. Well really it is because I don’t have the time to be constantly hanging out on my Stats Page. Over the last year I have worked very hard and thankfully 50% of the hard work is done. I still have more re-writing and overhauling to do, but at this moment in time there are over 350 Pages bursting with Tarot Information and instruction. There is still a lot more to come. There is information uploaded for each Card but those pages that state they are awaiting updating, still have to be rewritten. There is plenty of Lesson Content, especially the important stuff, yet still more to come.

At times, the going has got tough and I often felt like walking away from what I had started. My health is not great. After been very fit and strong, it suddenly began to fail in the summer of 2011 as I developed a series of complicated medical conditions one after another. They still persist to this day. This has strongly impacted my ability to carry on my work as normal. I had to give up my Healing Practice due to back and neck problems. I ended up worse than the clients who were coming to see me! When it comes to building Truly Teach Me Tarot, some days are more painful then others, and I don’t always get to achieve as much writing in a day as I had anticipated. What has really kept me going through all the tough ups and downs is my growing audience and their wonderful supportive comments that pop into my inbox every day.

I couldn’t have done it on my own. When I think of the early option I might have taken, not going live until the course was completely re-written, I know I would have given up long ago. So here I am today with my Stats breaking most previous day’s records and a constant stream of positive feedback and comments, reassuring me that I am doing the right thing and am on the path that is meant for me.

Because this has been a ‘Large Work in Progress’ I have had the time to spend many a sleepless night thinking about what I want Truly Teach Me Tarot to develop into. I have big plans for it, ideas I would never have thought of just over a year ago. I want to offer more than what I am already offering. Of course it won’t all happen overnight. After all, there is only one of me. I suppose I could go offline until it is all finished, complete and up and running, but we all know that would be a bad idea. So while I continue to re-build, renovate, extend and expand, you can watch me all the way. Take a front seat and see how it grows and develops. Your patience will eventually be rewarded and before you know it the following will also be up and running:

What you will need:

A Deck of Rider Waite Tarot Cards – Course is taught based on the Rider Waite Deck.

A Workbook or Journal

Video Tutorials – To Follow

I will be working on recording some Video Tutorials to accompany The Truly Teach Me Tarot Course. Once completed, they will be uploaded and I will post notification of their arrival.

I will be making my personally written, comprehensive, and in-depthReiki I and II ManualSavailable to download, along with accompanying Video Tutorial for those who are interested in adding Healing to their Holistic Tarot Reading and MetaphysicalSkills.

My Simply Crystals Workbook Manualwill also be available to download.

To each and every one of you who decide to embark upon the journey through the Truly Teach Me Tarot Course, I wish you the very best of Luck and I look forward to hearing from you. Keep up to date with my regular Blogs.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this site. I don’t feel like a simple thank you is enough for how wonderful this site is, but it’s coming from a deep place of gratitude and reverence in my spirit. May life return your blessings to others a hundred fold. Be blessed.

Dear Vivien,
thank you so much for this amazing site, I am so grateful. I was also wondering whether you did tarot readings as I would be very interested in one although I live in Edinburgh… maybe via skype or am planning on visiting Ireland at some point in the next year. Many blessings,
Felicity

Thank you so much and will be getting around to doing some readings in the future once I have the new site up and running and some more written work done. Lovely Scotland, only across the water but have never visited. It is on my bucket list, and of course we welcome all you guys here for the rugby each year.

I absolutely love your work. 🙂 of all the available resources, books, groups, forums and associations I’m in I’ve discovered yours best suits my style of referencing and expanding my knowledge. I appreciate the sharing of your knowledge and am thankful to have discovered it. 🙂 The amount of work put into this site is amazing.. so thank you. Teresa 🙂

Thank you Teresa, I am very touched by your comment. Writing can be a lonely business. No one else can do the work for you. Hours, if not days, go by with just me, sitting on my own at the keyboard. I hit publish and my work goes out into the world. Sometimes I doubt my work and worry if I should have done better. Then I get an uplifting comment from someone who has taken the time to acknowledge my efforts, and it gives me the energy and motivation to keep going. I became very emotional after reading your comment. It means the world to me.

Thank you once more. I am going to check out your site now as I see you do tarot too.

Absolutely love your information. 🙂 Of all the books, peers, forums and associations etc I’m in, i find myself referencing your resources more than any other. Thank you so so much. I have much admiration for you and your giving kind spirit to share this with us. I feel blessed to have found your site 🙂 The story you weave brings each tarot card to life and I LOVE that!! So thank you again for sharing your wisdom, knowledge and kindness with us. I look forward to exploring more and more!! 🙂

I am honored to receive such an outstanding comment. I have always learned, read and taught tarot through story-telling. For me it was the only way I could remember so many cards and also to understand how they linked to each other. I still have a lot of work to complete on this site and many more cards to re-write but I would like to write further once the heavy work has been completed here. I have several stories floating around in my head and will get to it one day. I am so glad you are enjoying my work and look forward to hearing from you again.

This site saved my life. Truly. I was looking for answers in the tarot during the darkest period of my life and I felt like this site gave me a feeling of empowerment at a time when I felt the most powerless and hopeless. Thank you. I wish you offered this wisdom in book form. I would pay whatever you asked for it.

Hi, I know what it is like to go through dark periods in life. Even though our individual issues may vary we all lose our power at times. I am so happy, and feel humbled that you found positive guidance on my site. I wish you health, happiness, peace and love. My work is not in book format at present but it would be a dream of mine. Hopefully some day. I still have much work to do first.

Since when I found this site, it has been a place i can really count in it. I’m just one who love Tarot and want to learn more and more about it. And I think your site is wonderful and helpful.
It did help me so many times, shown me many things i don’t know and understand just yet.

Recently I just read your “How to Interpret in Relationship”, and still wait for Pentacles and Cups post.

The Hacking was a false alarm as WordPress confirmed my site was clean. I think it may have been a problem on the User’s browser and not my site. However, there is a lot in the news at present about WordPress being targeted by Hackers, so it is wise to be ever vigilant. You will see that the Pentacles – Love and Romance is now published and am currently working on the Cups. I was very unwell and could not post on schedule.

Thanks for your message. At present the course is free so all you have to do is work away on the content that is available at present. There is fresh content being created all the time so course will grow. Best of luck.

Thank you so much. I am releasing a whole new body of content from Tuesday. It will be all about the Celtic Cross Spread, How To Read It, a Sample Reading, and Then a Complete Analyses of the Reading. I do hope you will enjoy it. I am very excited about it and have been working on it for the last Three Weeks.

Vivian,
I have always felt a connection with something non tangible. I wasn’t sure what it was. I know I have a very keen sense of intuition and have always believed part of it to be the fact I am a true Scorpio woman born Nov14,1971. I started playing with tarot about a year ago and found some cards I read,just for me,simple 3 card spreads and 1 day cards to almost eerily make sense. I played around and found I was drawn to your teach me tarot site to read some in depth meaning of cards. So today. I am starting from the beginning of your site. I truly hope to enjoy and gain much more insight into tarot. I would like to wish you luck with your future writing, and hope your health gets better. Well no time time to waste, gotta get reading :).
See you at the end

Sorry for the late reply. I have been on vacation. Sounds like you have a natural talent for Tarot and probably other psychic work. Just to let you know, even though my site is very large with a lot of information, it is not yet complete but you should have more than enough work to keep you going. I am constantly adding new content and with me back at work now, there should be new content within the next few weeks.

Hello Vivian, I wanted to extend my gratitude for all of your hard work.
I stumbled across this site while searching for deeper meaning into a reading I gave myself this morning. Your knowledge and your ability to share it clearly has been truly awakening for me.
I knew I had a higher purpose previously but your assistance in interpreting my reading has been invaluable. I have been receiving ‘messages’ for some time and now thanks to you, I am now motivated more than ever to fulfill my destiny and also help others.
My interpretation from your information on ‘The Star’ was the driving force that I needed to push me forward, not only to assist me healing from my own life traumas but to instill and facilitate the knowledge and healing experience in others.
I felt the urge to send this comment so that you may feel the ripple effect of your kind nature & generosity. I will certainly be working my way through the rest of your teachings alongside with my personal calling. Sending prayers of pure love, health and healing to you, Namaste xo

Thank you so much for your hard work on this site. I’m grateful for your knowledge and efforts. I retired recently and knew I wanted to have a real inner sense of tarot. Although I’ve done the cards on and off for many years I felt they had much more to say to me. I wanted to see them from many angles and feel their message. Thank you!

My name is Ana, and I am the author of Madam Kighal’s Astrology.
I stumbled upon your website, and I just have to tell you

THANK YOU!

Thank you for your knowledge and insight,
Thank you for your willingness to share it openly and free for all.
Thank you for the effort to put that willingness into real action.
Thank you for all invested resources that every moment now make people reacher.
Thank you for being.

I shared your content, as I hope that it would get to as most people as possible.

Oh thank you for such a lovely message. You are very kind and am very happy you are enjoying the site. I am working on the a Revised version of The Ace of Cups at present so new content is coming down the line. Thank you for sharing my work.

Vivien,
A couple of months ago, I received my first pack of Tarot cards, called te New Wave Tarot, based on new wave and goth artists from the 80’s. I saw them and was like “OMG need these.” because that’s just my thing. I didn’t expect that I’d actually do anything with them. On the day I got them, I decided to do a reading for myself for “fun”. I used the information for the Rider-Waite deck from your and applied to the my own reading and I was shocked. Seriously, sincerely in awe by what was coming to me. I’ve done daily readings now for about 2 weeks and I use your site every time. I’ve decided to take the course, and I’m so excited! I’ve ordered the deck you’ve recommended. I’m impatiently waiting for it to arrive so I can start the course. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this opportunity. I send lots of love and healing energy your way.

I have a feeling I already replied to this but maybe it was a dream! I must have a look at those cards as they sound interesting. I was a punk fan and even work a dog collar when a teenager in school, much to the horror of the nuns who just couldn’t understand it. I also wore a paper clip in my ear. I went to all the punk concerts and my gym teacher dated Gerry Cott from The Boomtown Rats. Well, I am much older now but still look back fondly on my punk days and the short, short hair I had.

With regards to this course, it is still a work in progress with years of further writing to come. I have a very expansive approach to tarot and when I write about it, it is as if I am writing a novel. I love the endless stories they offer. There is no structure to course and I will be adding so much more content, including videos. However, with over 350 pages you will be kept busy as I continue to create. Massive publication due for release at end of week. It is free of charge and I will provide a PDF Download as it contains over 150 pages all about the Five of Wands in Love, Relationships, Romance and Sex. Lots of additional information on the number Five too.
